First of all, I can't download anything off the net. I'm scanning the code shown in the screen, but i won't load and download. Loading process just stops. When i want to download other things, i click on the download link and it says "Cannot download. Content is not supported on this phone" I understand this but i need to download the APK manager, and i can't find any for my phone, for installing apps.

BTW, I haven't got the so called "Android Market" application on my phone, i just have something called "PlayNow". And there is nothing new there.
 
If you do not have android market, how do you expect to download apps from it?

What country are you in?
What firmware version do you have?
Why don't you have android market?
 
Android Market is not available in all locations and I have a sneaky suspicion that it is not available in Turkey. Have a look at this link

Supported locations for distributing applications - Android Market Help

You could try SlideME | Android Community and Application Marketplace or GetJar - Appsolutely Everything for Nokia, BlackBerry, Android, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG, Palm., access them via your phones browser and download their app to your phone. They give a reasonable selection of apps for your phone, sadly not as good as the Android Market.

The other thing you could think about is rooting your phone and changing the firmware to a generic world version that has the market. Have a look in the All Things Root section for further advice. Boring part now, rooting is said to invalidate your warranty however the general comment on that is that you can re-flash the normal firmware by using Sony Ericsson Update Service, but just be aware!
 
Can you please explain to me what does root/rooting/branding/debranding means and necessity of it? And if it lets me to download apps and games off the net, then i will probably doing that. And if i have any problems with my X10, may i post it here?

(Here it is, it says "No Matches Found for: pname:com.mathpad.mobile.android.wt.unit
Search Tips *Check Spelling..." and so forth.)

You could debrand to a different country firmware, such as the UK generic firmware, that way, you can download from the android market :)
 
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE MEMORY, BEFORE YOU CONTINUE (SUCH AS SMS, PHONE CONTACTS, ETC) YOUR SIM AND MEMORY CARD WILL NOT BE AFFECTED

1. Root your X10i/a (See here for how to root!)
2. Download Root Explorer.apk and load it to your phone (DOWNLOAD HERE)
3. Open Root Explorer and navigate to /SYSTEM
4. Push on white button in the right top corner of Root Explorer (This wil change R/O in R/W).
5. Long Press on the file Default.prop and choose "Open in Text Editor"
6. Change in the folowing lines the XXXX-XXXX (where XXXX-XXXX is numbers)


ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX
ro.product.name=x10_XXXX-XXXX

change the above to....

ro.semc.version.cust=1235-7379
ro.product.name=x10_1235-7379


7. Press "Menu" and choose save and exit
8. Reboot your Phone
9. once your phone has started up again, switch it off
10. Update via Seus or PC Companion (if it says you already have the latest software, choose to re-install)
